How do I change the name of my home directory?

eh?

Each user’s home directory is typically named with his userid. Like /Users/bvdshec17. It’s an automatic part of the system. Not something you typically do explicitly.

How do you mean that you wrote your home directory name wrong? Where?

That’s exactly it.

Not true, just as an example
Users / Jhon but I want to correct and write Users / John

How do I change it?
Do you know know what I mean?

My point is that it’s named after your userid on the system.

So… you accidentally entered your userid as Jhon (example)? If yes, then go into System Preferences > Accounts and modify your user’s account name.

Then your home directory name will auto-update to reflect that change.

Its really not meant to be changed, but there are ways to do it: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329990-263.html?tag=mfiredir

@justn & @robmandu Thanks anyway for your help, but I reinstalled Mac OS X and everything’s fine now. I appreciate your help :)

No problem.

Reinstalling or just making a new account with the proper short name is the easiest, most correct way to fix your problem.
